My Chili Red MC came with a euro plate size fill panel for the center of the front bumper that had a US spec size tag attachment section molded into it. Ugly as hell when you don't have to run a front plate, for that matter, it was almost as ugly when I removed it because of the huge euro tag sized gap it left.

Anyway, I was wondering if MINI made a fill panel for this area that would give a smooth front end?

You could just put a euro tag in place to cover it up.

Has anyone tried to flip this plate attachment so the US style plate hangs over the bottom rather the over the top of the bumper?

Thanks. That's the answer I was looking for.
